THE WYLIE MURDER.
The Criminals Thought to
Have Been With the Search
ing Party.

special.
WYLIE, Tex, July 23.-The excite
ment over the murder of Dreeben,
the peddler, is still at feaver heat
throughout the country. The wealth.
er being so very hot and dry the
hounds of Sheriff Lewis failed to
keep the trail over half a mile, be-
sides twenty-tour hours had elapsed,
and five hundred people on foot and
horseback had gone TO the scene Of
the murder and passed around and
around, some OF them five or six
times each, consequently II was al
most impossible for the hounds to
knox which trail was wanted,
though they followed one trail-and
it's pretty certain the right one
through the bottom to the river and
crossed it on an old, raft that has been
there for years, showing conclusively
the parties were acquainted with the
topography of the country, but as
soon as they came to the
prairie on this side OF the river,
they lost the trail and the trip was
gone over three times at the edge of
the prairie, the cause was supposed to
be the effect Of the heat and wind on
the grass. The last day or two, there
are many rumors in'the air, regarding
the horrible affair, and whether it is
the vibrations Of the minds of super
stitious wise-acres, or whether some
one knows more than they want to
tell just now is not known. 1t seems
everybody wants to wait for further
developments. There is one story
a6oat that three young men living
here in our midst did the diabolical
deed i that they terc present when
on the search; was at the depot when
Sheriff Lewis arrived with his hounds,
one OF them was heard to enquire, if il
was thought that those dogs could
trail anybody, at the same time look
ing the very essense of horror
and uneasiness, and as pale
as death, though he Joined
in the chase for the murderer just the
same. The officers have eudcavored
to keep vigilant eye over these par
ties, though it is now reported that
one of them has been missing for the
last twenty-four hours. On the day
the hounds were brought out and
twenty-tour hours after the murder
had been committed the pocket book
of the murdered man was found con-
tanning eight dollars and some cents,
about forty steps from where the wag-
on was halted, and ten feet from. the
road in the grass where tho horses
turned from the road as the former
undertook to stop the team. 1t is
stated that at least five hundred peo-
pie had gone over The ground there
abouts, two or three times each the
evening prior they are certain that
there was no pocket book there, and
the only theory advanced is that the
murderers had dropped it there for
fear of being searched If the hounds
should crowd them too close There
is no doubt but that the pocket book
contained more money than eight dol
lars when taken, and the balance had
been appropriated before dropping 1t
there.
